LINDA L. JONES OMBUDSMAN USS ELROD FFG-55 I am married to BMCS Jones and have been a navy wife for over 17 years. We have 4 children: Marci, Christie, Michelle, and Jimmy Jr. I am a brownie girl scout leader, which ELROD is currently its sponsor. I ' ve been involved with my children ' s school as homeroom mother and on the school improvement team. I ' ve attended the ombudsman training academy three times, Om- budsman Orientation, and also op- erations information. All of these courses have given me updated and useful information to help me do my job. As your Ombudsman, I am here to be your liason between the com- mand and the family, to help you as a referral source to many agencies, to be a sounding board when you just need to talk. The USS ELROD support group is also another place to get support and to give support to our guys. They do a lot of fun things such as Christmas parties, homecoming preperations, pot luck dinners and fund raisers. We have learned to make earrings and are currently get- ting involved in making a ELROD quilt to represent all men of the USS ELROD. 66
